Bee pollen as functional food and environmental bioindicator: current evidence and future challenges
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract Bee pollen (BP), a plant‐derived product collected by honey bees, is increasingly promoted as a functional food due to its content of proteins, essential amino acids, lipids, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds such as polyphenols and flavonoids.

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Urban expansion has exerted both direct and indirect impacts on natural land and ecosystem services it supports, driven by increasing population and food demand, yet these underlying pathways remain insufficiently distinguished. Here, we quantified the losses of soil conservation services (water erosion regulation and sandstorm prevention) and

Nectar in Plant Species Fragaria vesca L.
PlantsFragaria vesca L. is a common plant species in Slovenia. It flowers from May to July. Our study was conducted throughout the 2024 season in two locations at which we sampled nectar in F. vesca flowers. To take the nectar samples, we used microcapillaries.

Nectar production and presentation
, 2007 Nectar secretion is complicated to study from the ultrastructural point of view because it is a dynamic process involving many tissues simultaneously. Study may also be affected by artefacts created by chemical fixation procedures, although this problem ...

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Wind turbines influence several abiotic conditions in the environments they are sited in and may influence the behavior and movement of insect pollinators. It is unknown how operating turbines influence plant–pollinator interactions. To investigate if pollination dynamics could be affected by the presence of wind turbines, we recorded videos of ...

Area‐restricted search under realistic constraints
Oikos, EarlyView.Abstract Area‐restricted search (ARS) is one of the most influential and widely used concepts in foraging theory, capturing a simple rule by which animals intensify local search following a resource encounter. Because ARS performs well in many spatially structured environments, it serves as a basic model for interpreting movement patterns across taxa ...
